Chapter 1601: Rubik's Cube Beauty (63)

Yet the information she had obtained was still extremely limited.

As for Zhai Chenming, the male protagonist of this world, there was very little revealed about his inner thoughts—almost none at all.

The moment he shone the brightest was when he stabbed the original host.

Without her help, Zhai Chenming naturally had no way to lie low and quietly grow while hiding beneath her brilliance.

Still, she felt that something was off.

A divine dagger, one specifically meant to target the spiritual beings of the Rubik's Cube World. Once it pierced her heart, it could kill her instantly.

And the lives of the six City Lords were tied to the entire Rubik's Cube World. Apart from the six of them, no one should know this secret.

It concerned their own lives. No one would casually discuss such a thing. After all, killing them would be enough to destroy the Rubik's Cube World.

So how had that mysterious soul known about it?

There was no doubt that the other party was an outsider. Judging from the cultivation technique Zhai Chenming practiced, the person behind him cultivated an evil demonic art.

“Xiaoguo, what are you thinking about?”

Gong Wei was the first to notice something wrong with Tang Guo's expression.

After a pause, Tang Guo said, “I'm wondering why that mysterious soul knew the weakness of the Rubik's Cube World. Would any of you casually tell others about this weakness?”

“Of course not,” Gong Wei answered immediately.

“Definitely not.” Xie Yun and Zhang Le both nodded. They were not stupid enough to go around talking about such things.

Ever since they had come into existence, they had known that they were inseparably connected to the Rubik's Cube World. This secret had long since rotted in their hearts, and none of them had ever brought it up.

“Then who told him?” Tang Guo's voice drifted softly through the air, making everyone present feel a chill run down their spines.

That's right. Who was it?

There would only ever be six City Lords in the Rubik's Cube World.

If no outsiders knew, then the only possible leak had to come from one of the six of them.

But that made no sense. Their lives were bound to the existence of the Rubik's Cube World. No one should be foolish enough to expose their own weakness.

“Have any of you ever gone outside the city for fun?” Tang Guo suddenly asked.

With his fiery red hair, Xie Yun hurriedly shook his head. “Outside is full of monsters. They can't threaten us, but they're disgusting. Their appearance is disgusting, their saliva is disgusting, their blood is disgusting, and even their behavior is disgusting. Who would have nothing better to do than go there for fun?”

“You've been there?” Gong Wei's heart stirred as he asked.

Tang Guo shook her head. “No. Xie Yun is right. Everything out there looks disgusting. I'd have to be completely full and bored before I'd go out to play.”

“Then why ask?” Zhang Le asked curiously. Somehow, he felt Tang Guo would never bring something like this up for no reason.

Tang Guo lightly pursed her lips, and a toy Rubik's Cube appeared in her hand.

“This is a Rubik's Cube.”

“I know it's a Rubik's Cube,” Xie Yun said. “But it's just a toy, and it's different from our Rubik's Cube World. It needs someone to twist it before it changes. It's like the relationship between Earth and a globe in certain worlds. Earth rotates and revolves on its own—it isn't moved by human hands. But a globe spins because people make it spin. One is bestowed by Heavenly Dao, while the other is created by humans. You could say one is a masterpiece and the other an inferior imitation. There's no basis for comparison.”

Tang Guo burst into laughter. “I didn't expect you to know so much about the outside world.”

“Those people out there are actually pretty interesting and quite intelligent. Even though we can't leave, we still have to absorb their wisdom. Otherwise, they'll exploit our blind spots.”
